I find it sad the people in the usa . Romney is a honest man who gave i guess
america don,t want honesty. Romney was going to try to get people jobs. But
america people want food stamps instead. We need to stand on our own feet and
not lean on the goverment. If i did not have a good job. I would take
anything before being on food stamps including doing dishes as i have in the
past. My we all wize up and figure out the govermemt can not answer all
of quest . With costing money or freedom

I feel for the conservatives who undoubtedly feel frustrated, betrayed, and
dismayed by the result of the election. Take heart, I never thought I would
survive 8 years of George W. Bush and somehow I did. But do it gracefully.
Already people are blaming the media, blaming fellow citizens, ringing the alarm
bells of imminent destruction, claiming as always that the country is on the
edge of a knife and will teeter off if the opposing candidate wins.

It looks like this race was decided by less than 1% of the popular vote.
Something to think about. Seeing how the country was so evenly divided on their
choice of President, I really hope the Executive and Legislative branches can
manage to find some common ground and stop the gridlock.

What happend to the euphoria that graced these pages only two days ago?
Conservative voices expessed their firm commitment that Romney would win, that
he had it "in the bag".

Now it's blame the media. Soon
it will be blame the candidate. It is sincerely doubtful that there will be a
serious analysis of strategy, the contradictions and distortions of fact which
impacted the Romney campaign. Perhaps if Romney had portrayed himself as a
moderate Republican prior to the first debate instead of pledging loyalty to the
Tea Party and Far Right by becoming "severely conservative", he
certainly would have performed better in the general election. However, he
would not have been the Republican candidate.

The Republican Party is
an ananchronism in today's world. It is irrelevant and the American people
see it as extremist and out-of-touch. The Party need to re-think it policies,
emerge from the mid-20th century, and move forward. America is a diverse and
multi-cultural nation. Until the Republican Party can appeal to all Americans
as a moderate, center-right Party, it will continue to diminish in influence.
More red states will shift purple in the coming years.

If Obama wins Florida Nate Silver would have a perfect electoral forecast map.
Guess the polls shouldn't have been dismissed after all. Plus 3 states
approved of gay marriage for the first time ever. Great win tonight.

I was going to refrain from criticism of BO, but I would hope if Romney was
elected, people would continue to think for themselves. So I'm hoping
Santa brings BO a spine and a boat load of courage. I love what I bleed blue
said about the 47%. Mitt said something behind closed doors that is true, and
since Americans are so sensitive, they got offended. All BO did was pander to
get a vote since he had no record to run on. One party gives people a free ride
and the other extends some help with expectations. Who would give up a free
ride? Uninformed citizens follow the free stuff and the hand that gives it
out. My favorite moment of the election was when BO slung a "zinger" at
Romney concerning the "horses and bayonets". It went viral, everyone
thought it was so clever. Then when the truth came out that bayonets are
standard issue and training today, the silence and embarrassment was deafening.
So we get a short termed senator/community organizer for our leader and expect
him to do it well. Sound reasoning for sure

Hard to believe there are that many ignorant fools in this country. According to
the AP, it appears that Obama was able to convince the uninformed that after 4
years of failed policies it is still Bush's fault. Congratulations, Mr.
President. Four more years of fiddling while Rome burns. Can't wait.

wow. Here goes... 16,000,000,000,000 and counting. Here we come France,
Greece, etc. The United Socialist States of America are headed your way.
There will be many regrets about this vote in the future. Glad I had nothing to
do with it. Except...I am one of the many who fund all of these failed policies
so that the entitlements can continue to pour in to those who do nothing. Shame on America's people who can't see past their own prejudices to
realize that they have elected, again, the worst president ever to occupy the
office.

The map referred to by CNN tonight paints a picture of an America that has
changed greatly in values and priorities that made this a once great nation. We
as a country are divided to the point that we reward less than average
performance with 4 more years. If a CEO of any major company in the US had a
track record of Pres. Obama, he/she would be shown the door. We have a financial
crisis that has not been addressed over the last 4 years. We have immigration
issues that have not been addressed in the last 4 years. We have a jobless rate
that has not been addressed in the last 4 year. We have a President that all he
can say is he inherrited all of this. Well, it's 4 years later and you
cannot use that excuse anymore. I also agree that the Republican party has not
offered anything better. We are in a questionable sitiation with less vision and
less leadership than at any other time that I have seen in our nation.
